Chai Snickerdoodles

I sort of went on a cookie fast this summer. I'm not sure why.

I'm sure you can imagine the delight of a child, who after a summer of being told, "No, I don't have a cookie to give you as a treat" was finally told, "If you eat all your dinner, you can have a cookie."

Oh, the squeals! There was pure excitement, followed quickly by a rapid clapping of hands!

The delight pretty much bubbled up in me too!

These cookies hold true to a regular snickerdoodle--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The addition of the the extra spices only gives this cookie a deeper flavor. These cookies only lasted a couple of days in my kitchen.

Simply satisfying.

Maybe a cookie fast isn't such a great idea, after all. Cookies are good for your soul.
